But wouldn't people save more instead of spending, since they earn less on their savings?

I agree with Lakeesha, because lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper.

I'm not entirely convinced. Couldn't lower interest rates also lead to the economy slowing down if it encourages too much borrowing and spending?

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is A. When interest rates go down, borrowing becomes cheaper, so consumers and businesses are more likely to spend more.

Well, duh! Lower interest rates mean people can borrow money more easily, so they're obviously going to spend more. It's basic economics, people!
